A LOOK AT THE TRENDS SHAPING THE CAR INDUSTRY

he 2014 model year is shaping up to be a great time for new-car shoppers.

As the economy improves, buyers are starting to pour into showrooms again after delaying the purchase of a new vehicle for too long. Today's vehicles have gotten better, safer and more refined. And financing terms remain favorable, with a combination of low interest rates, longer loan lengths and easier lending standards. If you're in the market for a new car, here are some trends to know about this year.

TECHNOLOGY New cars are becoming more like consumer electronics with each passing year. Not only are they available with more luxury add-ons — things like adaptive cruise control, ventilated seats, video cameras and blind-spot sensors — but they're also more customizable than ever before. In a lot of new models, for example, a digital display behind the steering wheel can show different information based on what the

driver prefers to see there. It's a fancier, more powerful version of the old-fashioned trip computer. Perhaps the biggest trend for 2014 is the ability for cars and smartphones to work together. Most new cars today offer some kind of system for playing music, accessing apps and making phone calls through your cell phone, and the differences between them can help push careful shoppers from one car to another. If you want to be blown away, make a visit to your local car dealer and ask them to demonstrate some of the infotainment features on their new cars. Even the most affordable, entry-level economy cars are typically available with the kinds of electronics that would have been considered extravagant luxuries just a few years ago.

GAS MILEAGE Another big trend involves technology under the hood: getting the most mileage from every drop of

gasoline. As federal gas mileage standards tighten and consumers look more closely at the fuel economy figures that can help lower their gas budget, car makers are responding by making impressive mileage a key feature on their 2014 cars. Turbochargers, quiet diesel engines and direct fuel injection are just a few of the technologies that are becoming more common this year.

PREMIUM COMPACTS Closely related to the fuel-saving trend is the popularity of today's "premium compact" cars. Small, efficient commuter cars are available with more high-end options this year, letting buyers outfit them like luxury cars while still benefiting from their lower fuel consumption. Luxury brands are rolling out smaller, more efficient models, too, for people who want the status and comfort of driving a high-end vehicle without the pain at the fuel pump.

How to Extend the Life of Your Car or Truck Your vehicle is one of your biggest investments, so taking care of your car or truck just makes good sense. While regular wear and tear cannot be avoided over time, there are some important steps you can take to keep your vehicle on the road longer:

WASH YOUR CAR Regularly washing your car may keep you riding in style, but a clean vehicle is not just for appearances. Keeping your car or truck clean and free of debris and detrimental road salt will prevent rusting and costly repairs down the line.

OIL CHANGES AND FILTERS To protect your engine, follow your manufacturer’s recommended oil change intervals. Instead of conventional oil, consider using high performance synthetic motor oil designed to reduce wear, heat and fuel consumption. Just like motor oil, not all oil filters are of the same quality -filters can be classified as “economy,” “better,” and “best. Since the oil filter prevents contaminants from circulating through the system and causing damage, opting for a premium oil filter will extend the life of your vehicle. For example, Royal Purple oil filters use micro-glass filter technology. Advanced micro-glass oil filters are designed to extend the life of vehicles and equipment. In addition to superior filtration media, the other internal and structural components are of higher quality materials, making

for easier installation and removal as they are much less prone to crush while installing or removing. More information on motor oil and filters can be found at www.RoyalPurpleConsumer.com.

SMOOTHER DRIVING The way you drive can affect your vehicle’s performance and longevity. Take care to accelerate and decelerate smoothly. Not only will you increase your fuel economy, but you’ll extend the life of your brake pads.

Avoid feel-good driving maneuvers like revving the engine and try not to drive on a nearly empty gas tank. Neither of these behaviors is good for your engine, and could result in costly repairs. By following a maintenance routine and practicing good driving habits, you can extend the life of your vehicle well after driving it off the lot.

BOB RIDINGS in Decatur 3103 N. 22nd St., Decatur 877-3102 | www.ridingsdecatur.com Owner: Larry Grischow General Manager: Larry Grischow Sales Manager: Jason Grischow F&I Manager: Keith Wade Service Manager: Ryan Wilkey 2014 Lincoln MKZ For the Lincoln MKZ, designers took the notion of “elegant simplicity” as their point of departure – and arrived at a luxury sedan whose integration of lines and curves is stunning. Design cues become individual pieces of art, like the pedestal mirrors that add a jewel-like touch of elegance. There’s nothing else quite like the available class-exclusive fully retractable panoramic roof, with a 15.2-sq.-ft. glass panel offering a remarkable view and filling the cabin with natural light. The effective opening is the largest among sedans. It’s so expansive, like the sky it reveals. It took

a lot of imaginative engineering to make it happen, but that’s what innovative companies do. Achieve the unexpected. The sense of fluid motion seen on the outside continues inside. Lines are clean and flowing. The open feeling is made possible by a daring design choice. Rather than impede the natural connection between driver and passenger with a center console shifter, Lincoln designers replaced conventional thinking with an innovative push-button shift. Lead designers drew inspiration from the world’s greatest suspension bridges in imagining the spacious pass-through center console. It’s perfect for connecting drivers with passengers. Ordinarily a conventional lever on the floor or steering column comes to mind when you’re thinking about the design of a gear shifter. But the 2014 Lincoln MKZ is different. Departing from the conventional, designers put the transmission controls in a vertical series of ergonomic buttons on the center instrument panel. For even sportier operation, press the “S” button* and use the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Eliminating the floor shifter frees up space between the driver and passenger seats, and enhances the clean, uncluttered appearance that characterizes the whole of the interior.

2014 Lincoln MKZ

2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid

2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid Not all luxury hybrids are created equal. Come see the most fuel-efficient

2014 Lincoln MKS luxury hybrid in America. With class leading EPA estimated rating of 45 MPG city and highway. Drive and EPA estimated 567 miles per tank, with an annual fuel cost of only $1200 per year. Classleading** fuel efficiency* meets worldclass comfort inside the MKZ Hybrid. The driver and front passenger get standard heated 10-way power-adjustable seats trimmed in rich premium leather. Every MKZ Hybrid includes Smart Gauge with Eco Guide LCD instrumentation. Its vibrant digital vines sprout beautiful white apple blossoms, encouraging you to drive more fuel efficiently. Standard continuously controlled damping employs an advanced suite of sensors that read and adjust to road surface changes in milliseconds, helping to keep the MKZ Hybrid smoothly on track. Connect your Bluetooth-enabled smart phone, and standard SYNC® with MyLincoln Touch™12 will read incoming text messages aloud, make and take hands-free calls and stream your favorite music.

2014 Lincoln MKS The Lincoln MKS driving experience is refined and engaging thanks largely to continuously controlled damping (CCD). It uses an advanced suite of sensors that constantly monitor suspension motion, body movement, steering and braking inputs up to 46 inputs every 2 milliseconds. CCD adjusts the suspension in

milliseconds, helping keep the car smoothly on track. Three ride modes are available: Comfort, Normal or Sport. The available 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine combines direct-injection technology and twin turbochargers to provide the performance of a V8 with the fuel economy of a V6. EcoBoost generates 365 horsepower* and 350 lb.-ft. of torque with an EPA-estimated rating of 17 city/25 hwy/20 combined mpg. Available Intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) uses sensors to constantly monitor traction. It balances torque between the front and rear wheels to enhance handling and maximize traction, typically before wheel-slip can even occur. The available dual-panel moonroof is a feature you’ll want on your list of must-have amenities. The forward panel above the first row opens for added ventilation. The fixed rear skylight provides an expansive view for passengers in the back seat. There’s also a power rear sunshade that helps keep the interior cool. Intelligent Access with push-button start is a Lincoln MKS standard feature. With the key fob in your pocket, purse or briefcase, just open the driver’s door. Once inside, press the brake pedal and then the start button, shift into gear and go. It’s so easy and convenient, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.

New Trend: Going Electric ELECTRIC POWER IS BECOMING A MAJOR PART OF THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD Hybrids have used electricity to save some gasoline consumption for years now, but that's just the beginning. The scope and breadth of today's electric-car market is wider than ever before, making it rather confusing to sort through the different types of power systems on the market. Here's a look at several broad categories of electrified cars.

HYBRID The most widely available fuel-saving car today, a hybrid uses a combination of a gasoline engine and electric motor to improve fuel economy. The key thing to understand is that hybrids are designed, for the most part, to use both gasoline power and electrical power at the same time. They may be able to drive very briefly in "EV" electricvehicle mode, but most of the time your engine will be running like a normal car. The boost it gets from the electric power train just means it uses less gas.

PLUG-IN HYBRID A few cars are available as a special "plug-in" hybrid car. They usually come with a beefier battery pack than traditional hybrids and can drive for several miles on purely electric power before the gasoline engine kicks in. As the name suggests, you can plug them into the wall to keep them charged up, maximizing the amount of time they can drive on purely electric power. For the most part, though, the electric power range is relatively short, so most drivers will end up relying on gas power at some point with plug-in hybrids.

MILD HYBRID Mild hybrids are designed to save some fuel, but they use smaller, less powerful, less expensive batteries and charging systems than traditional hybrid cars. While normal hybrid cars may be able to drive briefly under purely electric power, for example, mild hybrids cannot. They have electricity-based designs that save some fuel, but they typically don't

get as dramatic a boost in miles per gallon. The upside is that there's less of a cost premium when buying one.

PURE ELECTRIC A purely electric-powered car doesn't have a gasoline engine. The upside is that, because they don't need that engine and all its related components, they're less expensive and lighter weight than comparable hybrid cars. That means they can drive a long way on electric power before the batteries run out of juice. The downside, though, is that their range is finite. Until a more extensive fast-charging network is rolled out, drivers won't be able to realistically take long trips in their pure electric cars and will still need something powered by gasoline as a second car.

EXTENDED-RANGE ELECTRIC General Motors is the main proponent behind the concept of an "extended range" electric car, referring to the

Chevrolet Volt and the new-for2014 Cadillac ELR. These cars are designed primarily to work as electric vehicles, running all the time on battery power. But unlike pure electric cars, they also carry a small gasoline engine that can work as a generator to keep the electric power flowing indefinitely on long trips. This best-of-both-worlds approach makes sense, but it comes at a cost. The engineering, added weight and production expense of building a gas-powered generator and an electric drivetrain make them considerably more expensive than many electric-only cars.

THE ROAD AHEAD AUTOMOTIVE FINANCING

The road ahead will have its share of ups and downs. Zigs and zags. Twists. Turns. And straightaways. But it's the road you chose. And that makes it good. Because no one else can tell you how to drive it. It's your road. Drive it your way. Hickory Point Bank. Invested.

BOB BRADY 4025 E. Boyd Rd., Decatur www.bobbrady.com 876-3800 Owner: Robert Brady General Manager: Steve Gensler Jr. Sales Manager: Jim Durbin F&I Manager: Rey Rodriquez Service Manager: Brandon Durbin 2014 Hyundai Sonata With its substantial good looks and class-above interior space, Sonata is the clear choice. Here's one more point of distinction: Sonata was ranked "Most Dependable Midsize Car" in the J.D. Power 2013 Vehicle Dependability Study. Sonata's 2.4L GDI engine offers responsive horsepower and the new Driver Selectable Steering Mode (DSSM) is a unique feature in its class. Looking for more power? The 274-hp turbocharged 2.0L GDI engine is available with the SE and LIMITED, because it’s always good to have options. Don’t travel light— unless you really want to. The Sonata comes with a roomy 16.4 cubic feet of trunk space, thanks to a specially designed hinge that tucks out of the way. To us, even the smallest detail is a big deal. With no intrusive trunk hardware, you can pack without fear of damaging your luggage. Sonata engineers decided that instead of creating a 4cylinder and a 6-cylinder option like the competition, they would build two responsive 4-cylinder engines that provide efficient power. The result is two of the most revolutionary engines available and the best of both worlds. The Sonata 2.0T is a game-changer. This 4-cylinder twin-scroll turbo pumps out 274 horsepower and 269 lb.-ft. of torque—more than the V6 Toyota Camry. And at an EPA-estimated 32 MPG Highway, it wins on fuel economy as well. Why spring for an expensive, less-economical V6 when you can get more power and better MPG with the 2.0T? Safety features that activate during an accident are crucial. Connecting you to help immediately after, that’s where Assurance Connected Care powered by Blue Link® comes in. When an airbag is deployed, the Automatic Collision Notification and Assistance feature notifies our response center and lets us know where you are so that we can quickly send first responders. There's also SOS Emergency Assistance, simply push a button on the rearview mirror to be put in contact with an

agent who can send assistance and stay with you on the line until help arrives.

2014 Honda Accord We worked hard to get a body like this. The Accord Coupe has a refined style with just the right amount of attitude, and the bold front grille sets the tone right from the beginning. Stylish and impeccably crafted alloy wheels come standard on every Accord. And for a little extra attitude, the wheels on EX-L V-6 models are an imposing 18 inches. Enhance your view of passenger-side traffic with ingenious Honda Lane Watch (EX-L and above models). A tiny camera on the passenger side mirror can be manually activated at any time or automatically activated when you signal right. Live video displays on the i-MID screen, and it provides you with a view nearly four times greater than using the passenger-side mirror alone. The forward collision warning (FCW) is available on EX-L trims. A small camera mounted at the top of the windshield can detect the presence of vehicles in front of you. If the system determines that you are at risk of a collision, it activates audio and visual alerts to warn you. With our countless technological innovations and legendary, race-inspired engines, Honda has always roared ahead of the curve. The Earth Dreams DOHC iVTEC® system enhances the effect of VTEC® on Accord's 4-cylinder engines with Variable Timing Control™, or VTC™. Direct-injection technology leads to better combustion and a more efficient use of fuel. This 185 horsepower engine still brings an impressive 34 mpg highway. The 6-speed automatic transmission will stay in a lower gear during turns, making your Accord feel sportier and more responsive. The transmission also uses the engine's broad torque curve for brisk acceleration, optimized fuel efficiency and smooth shifting. The ECON button comes standard on every Accord. When you push the green button, your Accord automatically configures its fuel-consuming systems to optimize efficiency, helping you go farther on a tank full.

2014 Chrysler 200 The 2014 Chrysler 200 Limited knows no boundaries. Best in class with 283 HP V6 Engine with an EPA estimated 29 Highway MPG. The sculpted grille is just the tip of a vehicle fashioned for serious business. Luxurious leather seats, Boston Acoustics audio speakers and projector fog lamps confirm your upgrade to the Chrysler 200 Limited. Exterior mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever you turn on the rear window defroster. Bifunctional halogen projector headlamps and fog lamps utilize high and

It has 350-lb load capacity and stows right in the tailgate. It’s skidresistant and very durable. For the second year in a row the F150 SuperCrew has been awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s 2012 top safety pick. This award recognizes vehicles that do the best job of protecting passenger based on the Institute’s evaluations. The rating are based on the four most common kinds of crashes: front, side, rollover and rear.

2014 Ford Escape The Ford Escape has an eco-friendly side. Seat cushion and head restraint foam, for example, is derived from soybeans. Carpet in all models is produced using a blend of postindustrial fibers and post consumer fibers derived from recycled plastic bottles. Even the shape of the Escape and the use of the Active Grille Shutters help make the vehicle more aerodynamic for enhanced fuel economy. Take your choice: the available 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine – which has an EPA-estimated 32 highway mpg, 2 unsurpassed automatic highway fuel economy in its class – or the available 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine. Compared with a standard port-injection engine,

EcoBoost technology helps produce a cooler, denser fuel-injection charge that generates more power per every drop of fuel. Twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) maximizes performance, while two technologies – turbo charging and direct injection deliver the performance of a larger engine while offering impressive fuel economy. The available class-exclusive hands-free, footactivated liftgate is very easy to use. With the Intelligent Access key, just kick your foot under the bumper and the power liftgate will automatically open, providing easy access to the cargo area. You can also adjust the liftgate height, which is helpful for lower overhangs. If you could use a little assistance when parallel parking, Ford has your helping hand. It’s called active park assist, an optional feature. While you’re driving slowly near parking spots, simply activate park assist and it looks for an available parking spot. Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the curb and between parked cars. Once a spot that’s big enough is identified, you’re signaled to stop and accept the system’s assistance. All you do is control the shifting, accelerating and braking. When a vehicle is detected in the blind spot zone, BLIS illuminates an indicator light, providing a warning in the outside mirror. The cross-traffic alert feature uses blind spot monitoring sensors to audibly and visually alert you to approaching cross traffic while you are slowly backing out of a driveway or parking spot.

Sales Manager: Rodney Thompson 2014 Ford Focus You don’t have to be a driving enthusiast to appreciate the 2014 Focus. Actually, this car will turn you into one. There’s standard Torque Vectoring Control, which provides torque to the wheels that have the most grip. It virtually eliminates under steer, forcing the front end to hug the inside of each curve. The engine features twin independent variable camshaft timing (TiVCT) for an extra measure of precision that contributes to efficiency or power output, as conditions demand. Look at some of the other performance features we put into the Focus: • Standard 2.0L Ti-VCT direct-injection I-4 flex-fuel engine • Available PowerShift® six-

DOUGLAS DODGE 811 W. Highway 54, Clinton www.douglasdodge.com 935-2144 Owner: Mark Douglas General Manager: Tony Douglas Sales Manager: Pat Smith F&I Manager: Gordon Foster Service Manager: Dave Huston 2014 Ram 1500 After a significant round of improvements last year, the Ram 1500 pickup gets even better for 2014. Headlining the handful of updates this year is a new turbo diesel V6 engine. This is the only diesel engine offered in a light-duty fullsize truck, and it promises impressive fuel mileage and towing capability. One of the best things about driving the new diesel-powered 2014 Ram 1500 is that

you'll barely notice any difference compared with the gasoline-powered versions in normal driving. The cabin remains peaceful, and typical of diesels, there's plenty of thrust for merging and passing, and it's accessible from low rpm. Of course, some consumers prefer the power characteristics of a traditional gasoline V8, so Ram will also continue to offer its 5.7-liter V8 engine as an optional upgrade over the base gasoline V6 engine. The torque ratings are very similar between the diesel engine and the gas V8, but the V8 has slightly higher towing capacities (depending on the cab/bed configuration you choose), and it's actually a less expensive upgrade than the diesel. However, given that Ram expects the diesel V6 to top the base gasoline six-cylinder's EPA fuel economy ratings, the extra up-front cost for the diesel is likely to pay for itself within a couple years. The new engine option enhances what was already a class-leading truck. The 2014 Ram 1500 is a full-size pickup available in multiple body styles. The regular cab seats three and is available with either a 6-foot-4inch or 8-foot cargo bed. The extended cab ("Quad Cab") can seat up to six and comes only with the 6-foot-4 bed. The crew cab increases rear-seat legroom,

There's an App for That CARS BECOMING CLOSELY INTEGRATED WITH SMARTPHONES long as cell phones have been around, people have been Aseager to adapt the new technology to cars. From the bag phones of the 1980s to the iPhones and Androids of today, cell phones are increasingly being integrated with the driving experience, and the ultimate expression of that in 2014 vehicles is the in-car app.

example. Since many people use their smartphones or MP3 players to carry their music library around, it's logical to connect it to the car for use while driving. That way they can use those same familiar knobs and buttons to control their music from the phone and play it through the car's sound system.

WHAT THEY DO For the most part, the most popular in-car apps mirror services offered directly on smartphones, only they do so through the car's digital display. It makes perfect sense. Most of today's new cars are available with some sort of digital screen, whether a large navigation display or a smaller screen behind the steering wheel. By linking your vehicle to your cell phone's digital data, you can access online services to stream digital music with Pandora, make dinner reservations with OpenTable or read reviews of local venues on Yelp.

As apps gain popularity, one of the problems that arises is the compatibility of new cars and new devices as they roll out. Most phones will either connect to the car using a USB cable or wirelessly using Bluetooth, but different versions of software and hardware don't always work well together. And software upgrades for both your phone and car could cause compatibility issues down the road. If connectivity is important to you, make sure you bring your phone on your test drive to see exactly how it connects and which features are available.
